Kehrwiederturm, Medieval defense tower in Hildesheim, Germany.
The Kehrwiederturm rises 30 meters high and features robust construction with rubble stones, standing as part of the former city fortifications.
Built between 1300 and 1456, the Kehrwiederturm remains the last surviving structure from the original four towers that protected Hildesheim's city walls.
The tower hosts exhibitions by the Kunstverein Hildesheim and serves as a venue for wedding ceremonies conducted by the local registry office.
Visitors can explore the tower's interior, climb to its top level, and view exhibits during regular opening hours throughout the year.
The tower received its name from a bell that, according to local tales, guided a lost noblewoman back from the forest to the city.
